Two maxi ice rinks, Ice Stock, skating schools, sports shows, games and winter sports,free wifi and a journey to discover food and flavors, from Japan to Peru

Back to Florence Winter Park, the large area dedicated to games and winter sports, in the Garden of TuscanyHall, a few meters from the Arno river. Inaugurated by the Councilor for Sport and Youth Policies of the City of Florence Cosimo Guccione, the new season will continue until February 23, 2020.

An initiative that has become a tradition of Florentine winter and Christmas holidays, ready to welcome, in particular, the many ice skating enthusiasts.

There are two maxi tracks: the covered "MASTER" (18 meters x 38 meters) and the "RIVER" (10 meters x 20 meters) always covered, designed for the little ones and for those who approach skating for the first time, and on which it will be possible to practice the Ice Stock a sport of the same family of curling suitable for adults and children, which does not require the use of skates.

All the slopes can be booked exclusively for birthdays and private and company parties and in the morning also by schools.

Two skating schools: Il Giglio Bianco and Pino Florence Skating will offer courses for every level and every age, from leisure time to competitive, artistic ice skating, but also ice hockey, free style on ice and roller skating. Penguins or dolphins will be available to all, real mechanical tutors, who facilitate the use of the track for beginners.

Great news in terms of catering: the inn The Winter Park Refuge will offer a trip to what are the most unknown winter kitchens in the world. We will go to Asia with poor dinners of Japanese cuisine, bringing to the table the typical meal of the Japanese ski slopes, then we will return to the border between Europe and the Middle East with the rich and surprising Turkish winter cuisine, and finally we will go back to Peru immersing ourselves in the flavors of traditional Andino dish in a mix of aromas at the borders of taste.

You can also enjoy fragrant pizzas! Even gluten-free! Even late at night! And then the fresh, simple and seasonal delicacies of the Tuscan tradition, and for the winter snack sweet and savory crêpes, mulled wine, chestnuts and hot chocolate.

Firenze Winter Park is open to the public every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. From December 22nd to January 6th the park will be open every day.

With the patronage of the Municipality of Florence.
